The amount of energy required to raise the interior space of a bus from 20-30 degrees to 60-70 degrees is enormous, especially when buses are opening and closing their doors every <5 minutes.
For colder climes, heating with combustion (hopefully more gas than diesel) is going to be the norm for a while. It will still be a win to electrify those buses.
So it’s more… 95% electric?

No, this is just the smoke generator. So that people won’t think it’s witchcraft when they see a moving vehicle that doesn’t emit exhaust fumes.
One would hope on an electric heat pump augmented with electric resistance heating. Maybe a wood fire for the charm of it?
It’s still propelled 100% by electricity.
One has nothing to do with the other .
